These stately trees are located on Almaden Expressway in front of the Santa Clara Valley Water District building, not far from Almaden Lake.
The bark of sycamore trees flakes off in patches, giving them an attractive white-brown appearance. These specimens look mostly white here, but if you enlarge the photo you can see numerous light-brown patches.
Three sycamore types are native to the U.S. A percolation pond is about 100-yards away- behind the SCVWD building, which is good because they like moist soils. I wonder if this one was burned by lightning. [Photo: California Sycamore (Platanus racemosa) Click to enlarge.]
